The story is set in a dystopian world in which an environmental catastrophe darkened earth's sky resulting in chaos and lack of food. We follow a chef to a remote mountain top where an influential man built a restaurant serving fresh food grown on his lands. A luxury only few can afford.
The book is very sensual and pleasure focussed which stands in contrast to the dying world around them.
The book was a little bit too dark and gross for me at times but that is to be expected from a dystopian book
